Im trans
and ive known about it for about 3-4 years now and ive been trying to tell my parents for a while now. So when i try to tell them im trans my brain says yes but my mouth says no. Ive been practicing in the mirror ever since ive known about my trans identity to tell my parents or even anyone. The only person that knows about my trans identity is my non-binary friend that ive known for years (they live far from me now) and it was kind of easy for me when i told them cuz we talk about the lgbtqia+ community always. Anyways what im trying to say is idk how to tell anyone of my family (supportive) or friends (mostly transphobic) and ive been practicing for years to tell them, and i was wondering if anyone would help me get over my fear of coming out. Or just tell me how i should come out
Tw part:
my body makes me super uncomfortable and i always wear hoodies or sweaters in public places to hide the fact that i absolutely hate my male body. Im gonna vent in this part but one time i was playing a lgbtq roblox game and my "firends" saw me playing that game and every day after that they would push me, bully me, and even told me to kms (as a joke apparently) at one point. It FELT like they were pointing a gun to my head and telling me to admit im gay or whatever. But since they are homophobic and i have a fear of hatred i never admit to it even though that was my perfect opportunity to come out and just tell them. But anyway the bullying was so severe at one moment i would normally think about kms [killing myself]. Luckily i have healed from the past experience and im all better now.
(Sorry for any typos in this, i will eventually fix them)
(I will read every comment)
Questions being answered:
Does my family support lgbtq+: yes, my stepmom is even bi
If your family is so supportive why cant you tell them your trans: its MUCH harder to come out about gender identity then sexuality
